BED ATLAS / INDEX 01

Forms, systems, context. One explicit map.

The Bed Atlas organizes the current audited BEDU seed by form, system, taxonomy, and relationship. It is deliberately inspectable today and structured to grow without collapsing into a flat list.

CATALOG / AUDITED SEED

Bed forms + sleeping systems

Every card below is an existing audited Bed Genome seed. No thin placeholder entries are generated to inflate the catalog.

bed type

Platform bed

A bed form whose frame provides an integrated mattress-supporting platform or support surface.

GRAPH / EXPLICIT EDGES ONLY

Relationship pathways

Every step is generated from stored graph edges under strict depth and node bounds. Generic shared-use hubs are not used to manufacture similarity.

PATH 01 / SPACE

Space-saving alternatives around the platform bed

Follow only explicit space_saving_alternative edges in both directions from the platform-bed seed.

RELATIONSHIP KEY

How to read Atlas relationships

Compatibility is not represented by Atlas graph edges. BEDU CompatibilityRule remains the sole compatibility source of truth.

Evidence-backed

Evidence-backed

The relationship is presented as a factual assertion and carries evidence references in BEDU data.

Editorial discovery

Editorial discovery

The relationship is an explicit BEDU navigation/editorial connection. It is useful for exploration but is not presented as a sourced factual claim merely because an edge exists.
